  1. As some of you know I have listened to almost all live performances of Bad. Along the way I found some snippets that are either Bongolese (so Bono making up stuff) or references to songs which are not identified yet. These snippets are not identified by U2gigs so help us out!

    Here is my list:
    1987-05-09 - “Hollywood shines like a star..”
    1989-11-17 - Great great snippet, but no idea which song “write til its over“, “can you feel it”, “foreign dreams”
    1992-05-09 - “Took you like a [..]”
    1992-08-12 - Two unknown snippets, or one? “White carnations fall?” “Jersey girl”?
    2001-05-24 - Some words difficult to make out
    2001-08-18 - “Time..” something like that, right before 40
    2005-04-21 - “I’m not alone..”
    2005-12-04 - Unidentified talking etc.
  2. I put all My heart in this Challenge but.....sorry.i failed.i can't help you At all.i looked For all the snippets in the u2world.but no MATCH
  3. We could identify all of these and U2gigs still wouldn't add them.

    I'll have a listen.
  5. I think they're mostly improvisations.
  6. Remy, I hate to be lazy but audio that is streaming would facilitie this.
  7. For God's sake, we offer all these recordings just 2 clicks away
  10. Here's one I never could figure out what he is saying but would love to know.



    Right after the first "They crawled out of the woodwork", what's the next verse he says? (I've queued it to where he starts the Candle in the Wind snippet)
  11. My claim to U2 snippet fame is for identifying a snippet during a Beautiful Day intro in Chicago on the 360 tour. I downloaded the boot right away because I was excited that Foxboro was up next. I heard Bono sing “far, far away from the city lights. Kissing right on the CTA”. Holy shit! Bono is singing a Wilco song right in Chicago! Bono knows who my other favorite band is?! Sent Axver a message to let him know.

    It’s possible that the snippets listed are geographically specific. Or it’s just Bono going off and making it up on the spot.

    You had the grace to hold yourself
    While those around you crawled
    They crawled out of the woodwork.

    Also a reference to 'In Dublin' magazines for criticizing Self Aid?
